John 3:16-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶“For God so ^(A)loved the world, that He ^(B)gave His ^(C)only Son, so that everyone who ^(D)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷For God ^(E)did not send the Son into the world ^(F)to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. ¹⁸^(G)The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of ^(H)the only Son of God. ¹⁹And this is the judgment, that ^(I)the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for ^(J)their deeds were evil. ²⁰^(K)For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed.

John 3:16-20

King James Version

¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

¹⁸He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

For God So Loved the World

¹⁶“For ^(A)God so loved ^(B)the world,^[a] ^(C)that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not ^(D)perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷For ^(E)God did not send his Son into the world ^(F)to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸^(G)Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not ^(H)believed in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹^(I)And this is the judgment: ^(J)the light has come into the world, and ^(K)people loved the darkness rather than the light because ^(L)their works were evil. ²⁰^(M)For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, ^(N)lest his works should be exposed.
